The Potter and His Clay

Will the gates of Heav'n await me Will they let my soul inside Will the King of Kings forgive me And allow me forever to reside In His grace and in His glory Though I've sometimes not deserved But I tried with all my being To live the message of His word The vessel that He gave me Gave into lust and gluttony But when I asked for His forgiveness His Holy light shone down on me The Potter and His clay Formed me with His own two hands And while I've done my share of sinning I hope He forgives this man The burden that I carried Has been paid for with His blood And the reason for His living Was to pass on His pure love They say the grass is always greener Over on the other side The golden streets are our reminder We've no more mountains left to climb The Potter and His clay Allows for free will and He tends To call home those He needs the most But not before He mends The souls of all those fallen Away from truth or His pure light So walk with Him and you'll receive The gift of eternal life So walk with Him and you'll receive The gift of eternal life
